Visconti Leonardo Machina Vermeil Gold Fountain pen EF nib

Visconti Leonardo Machina Vermeil Gold Fountain pen EF nib

The body and cap of the Machina pen are made artisanally and are decorated with Da Vinci’s revolutionary technical drawings of machines. These illustrations were taken from one of the Tuscan artist’s biggest body of work, the Atlantic Codex.
The distinct look of the Machina pen is due to the engravings that recall the Sanguine technique, an artistic style very much in vogue during the Renaissance and often used by Da Vinci.
The Machina fountain pen is an original masterpiece. Da Vinci’s most famous inventions are brought to life with the ancient scrimshaw technique: micro-incisions are made in the resin body of the pen and then covered in red pigment.
The mahogany box in which the pen nestles is in the shape of an icosahedron, a solid with 20 triangular faces which symbolises water and its movement.
